Seattle Seahawks defensive tackle Jarran Reed was activated to the 53-man roster ahead of Sunday’s game against the visiting Baltimore Ravens.

The Seahawks on Saturday also placed tight end Will Dissly on injured reserve to make room for Reed, who was suspended for the first six games of the season for violating the league’s personal conduct policy.

Reed was disciplined for an incident in Bellevue, Wash., on April 27, 2017, in which a woman filed a complaint of assault against him. Prosecutors investigated and declined to press charges.

Reed returned to practice this week and reportedly impressed coach Pete Carroll.

“He must have worked really hard,” Carroll said. “He would tell you that he did. The challenge of the practice was nothing for him. He’d been working hard enough so that this is not a step up for him, which is what you hope so that he doesn’t have a fall out coming off the practices. He’s ready to go.”

Reed had a career-best 10.5 sacks in 16 games last year after having just three in 30 games over his first two NFL seasons.

The 26-year-old Reed underwent sports hernia surgery in late April but recovered in time to participate in minicamp drills during the second week of June.

Dissly sustained a season-ending Achilles’ injury in Sunday’s 32-28 victory over the Cleveland Browns.

He was running a pass route in the end zone in the second quarter when he made a cut and tumbled to the ground, clutching at his leg.

Dissly had 23 receptions for 262 yards and four touchdown receptions this season.
